Kayak Surfing In Greece, Ionian Sea - Total Miles: 60-70
Although a relatively small country, Greece has one of the longest coastlines in the world—8,500 miles of it. You can get a taste for Greece and its whitewashed villages by taking an extended paddle trip on the clear turquoise waters of the Ionian sea. An eight-day trip begins on the west coast as you paddle through the Strait of Lefkada, passing a medieval castle and Skorpios, the Onassis’ private isle. You’ll paddle six to 16 miles a day exploring the Ionian Islands, and spend the nights beach camping or sleeping in quaint island inns.
Ionian sea is on the west coast of Greece and is a real paradise for kayaking. Generally, it is the calmest sea in Greece and its warm, crystal clear waters along with its numerous islands and islets offer a variety of possibilities, from nice crossings to beautiful coastal paddling, sea caves exploration and many more...The clear turquoise waters touch uninhabited rocky beaches. Even without a paddle in your hand, it's easy to see how enticing the prospect of traveling in this ancient place can be.
